Language Line Services

Serving the needs of older clients who are ethnically and/or culturally diverse sometimes requires the services of an interpreter.  For obvious reasons, relying on family members of the client is not the best option, nor usually an ethical choice.  Language Line Services provides a means to communicate with a client who does not speak a language in which her attorney is fluent.  The telephone based service can be expensive, but interpretation may be necessary ethically to provide the best possible legal representation to such a client. 150 languages are covered by Language Line. More information is available at the company’s website.
